Off to See the Seals
The recent articles in the Travel Society Magazine on Îles de la Madeleine reminded me that I've wanted for years to see the baby harp seals on the ice. So I've just booked flights for next March on Aeroplan points (only 15,000 points for a Québec destination from Ontario).
And just today I received the 2009/2010 Official Tourist Guide for Îles de la Madeleine. [www.tourismeilesdelamadeleine.com]. On page 109 is the following:
Seal Observation Tours, Hotel Chateau Madelinot 323, route 199, Fatima, tel: 418 986 3695 or 1 800 661 4537, fax: 418 986 6437, e-mail: madelichatmad@lino.com, www.hotelsilesdelamadeleine.com
"Seal observation packages from 3 to 6 nights including lodging, breakfasts, helicopter transportation for a half-day tour on the ice field and also a guided tour of the islands.
Available for the three first weeks of March, depending on weather conditions."
I hope this helps other readers who'd like to see the seals.
